According to WHO records Marijuana is heavily used in The Bahamas for the past 70 years. Rasta only make up 2% of its usage. I live here and I know what I have experienced all my lifetime everywhere. Because of our multi generational home system and tolerance for what is obvious many adolescents do fall victim in every nation as ours usa, can europe, that had spawned criminal murder squads who run the billion dollar industry outside of government. Government never said it will invite persons to use Marijuana. Government only provided the legal medical pathway for caring doctors and patients. Thar is the governments responsive job. Hysteria fear mongering is so insensitive. Then don't send your child to Canada UK, Europe, The Caribbean or USA to college. As in The Bahamas ensure your child is disciplined and knowledgeable about peer pressure and strong family values.

Go and read up on the Endo Cannabinoid System of the human brain. Then study Phyto Cannabinoids. Maybe you will learn what the rest of the world already knows.

The Cannabis Bill, yes, is well measured. After all, The AG Office along with Health and Wellness have foresight based on other jurisductions hindsight. We are late in the game considering that Cannabis has been popularly used here for 70 years. Further, again historically we find ourselves between the all of the greatest producers and consumers of Canada, USA, Jamaica and South America. EU & UK block nations also cultivate, export, and individual's are licensed to use. Cannabis us accepted as a civilized botanical bush medication as it was for thousands of years until USA prohibition agitation from the 1970s. If all goes well The Bahamas Government will control the show with the average Bahamian benefiting and no longer will criminal murderous gangs here have a billion dollar monopoly. Central government control over Cannabis was first used in Uruguay and it immediately cut gang murders down to nearly zero through legalization. If you travel to 40 USA states Medical Cannabis is legal along with about 28 states where Adult Use is also legal. All of Canada is legal. The Bahamas will now be able to regulate, somehow, according to WHO, 147 million Cannabis users, Bahamas included. Also, according to UNODC world drug report, all nations that legslized Cannabis already have a wide distribution of users so there was no major impact of sudden new users. Also, the UN Office found the cultural or indigenous national attitudes of varying peoples hindered the approach to a universal approach to Adolescent use which has negative individual and national economic consequences.
